Say Yes to JCHS Campaign

The “Say Yes to JCHS ” campaign is hosting a Campaign Kick-off party at 6 p.m. on September 26th. This will be at the C.L. Hoover Opera House.

Campaign member Terra Stroda noted that the aim is to involve more community members in the upcoming JCHS bond election that is scheduled on November 7th. Those in attendance will have the opportunity to hear from city leaders, current students and others as they share the impact that a yes vote will have on current and future students, as well as the community.

If voters approve the bond issue on November 7th USD 475 would be eligible to obtain 47% of the funding from the state for a new Junction City High School project. The remainder of it would be funded by federal heavily impacted military aid received by the school district. Officials with the district have made it clear no increase would occur in the local property tax levy.

Nothing against you guys. You’re all awesome, and it’s nothing personal, but the people of JC do not trust you when you say it won’t cost us anything, especially when you have no Plan B. Our school is broke. It needs fixed. I don’t buy a new car when my sunroof starts to leak and I don’t buy a new house when the door won’t latch. I think you’re taking Hutton’s word that we need to build a new one instead of having reputable builders who actually do remodels as part of their specialties. I actually think the roof would be a simple fix if you get an actual industrial roofing company in to tell you what needs to be done and fix it right.

I think you didn’t even try to fix it. You took your contacted maintenance company’s word that it couldn’t be fixed. Problem is, its broken because THEY didn’t properly maintain.

It’s way past time for an audit of the usd475/hutton relationship. The absolute refusal to discuss this enormous expenditure of tax dollars is unacceptable.

Instead of learning from JC’s mistake of hiring Veolia, they said, “awe, they won’t do that to us, we trust them!!” You just cannot put a for-profit company in charge of a public facility(ies) They will not be good stewards of public funds, but only concerned about their own profits.

I’m hoping you announce your candidacy for public office soon. You would have my vote.
